Finished Wreath

This is the final product of my book wreath.







Here is the beginning phase of the wreath and I got too caught up to take more pictures other than the final product!



Tips on making this wreath: buy lots of glue sticks, buy a small wreath, and don't use hardback books! Reasons: I ran out of glue sticks, my book wreath is way to big for my house and it's going to be a present to my mom, and the hardback books don't have the same antique look and the pages are a lot longer so I ended up cutting a lot of excess.
I did have a blast, along with blisters, making this and I plan on doing it again with a smaller wreath. Hopefully this time it won't take up an entire wall!

Book Wreath


I found this blog today http://www.livingwithlindsay.com/2009/11/librarians-please-avert-your-eyes.html and I HAVE to make these. I'm going to make one for every booklover I know and I'm going to make one for myself. I have tons of books that are aged and I'll never read again so why not recycle and make them useful again?
As soon as I can make it to the dreaded Wal-Mart for a foam wreath I will post my finished project. Can't wait to tell my husband I'm going to hang books on the wall. :)
